Don't you wonder why there are people on the streets
Waiting for a meal, searching for some place to sleep
Some are young, some are getting old
Few have hope but they need something real to hold
Some know better, some don't know
Others got homes but they're safer sleeping in the cold
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder everybody's in need
You look upon the others as you look down upon your feet
You say your running low while you buy Mercedes Benz
Call it half a dollar someone calls it fifty cents
You're a catalyst and a criminal but they don't treat you any less
As you shout towards the alter and demand your forgiveness
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
When something catches your ever knowing eyes
Bet you wonder why
It took you such a long time
You can't just sit there curtains drawn
Wishing that you could see more
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why there is murder on T.V
Youth robbing stores, lovers who beat
Everybody's at war against someone with more
The rich fight the rich, the poor feed the poor
Too afraid to look upon a helpless scream
While children shoot all there friends
On a television screen
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
So while you sit there counting all the chips stacked in front of you
And redefine your existence with your every slippery move
You've tried to be sincere but sarcasms dripping from your tongue
You're forsaken, you leave every conversation
Like you've won
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
When something catches your ever knowing eyes
Bet you wonder why it took you such a long time
You can't just sit there curtains drawn
Wishing that you could see more
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
Don't you wonder why
